Eternal Sacred King Chapter 2541 Ghost Immortal

Chapter 2541 Ghost Immortal

Accompanied by that sinister voice, a menacing and terrifying face gradually appeared in the darkness behind Demoness Ji.

The Martial Dao Prime Body was alarmed and did not have time to think. He pulled Demoness Ji over and s.h.i.+elded her behind him, glaring at the figure that appeared slowly in the darkness with a grim expression.

He looked like an old man covered in blood. His face was pale and there was no life in him, resembling a malevolent ghost!

No matter the old man's background, the fact that he could hide from the spirit perception of the Martial Dao Prime Body was enough to shock him and make him on guard.

"To think that two little children would come here. Hehehe…"

The old man let out an unpleasant laughter once more. His grin extended to the back of his ears, as though it was splitting his entire head into two!

"Could it be a Ghost Immortal?"

Demoness Ji gradually calmed down as she panted and said with a trembling voice.

"Ghost Immortal?"

The Martial Dao Prime Body's heart skipped a beat.

Back in the Emperor's Tomb, the Green Lotus True Body encountered a Ghost Immortal who was extremely powerful and nearly died inside. Thankfully, he managed to survive with the help of the Soul Lantern.

Demoness Ji continued, "However, according to the inheritance memories given to me by Great Empress Nine Nether, the conditions for the formation of Ghost Immortals are extremely special. At the very least, an Emperor has to die!"

Only the powerful grievances of Emperors could turn them into Ghost Immortals!

Back then, the Green Lotus True Body was only at the Black Immortal realm and did not know much about Ghost Immortals. The information he had was not accurate enough and he merely heard a bit about them from Feng Ziyi.

He thought that Ghost Immortals were formed by the death of experts whose souls refused to enter reincarnation due to their grievances. Furthermore, they cultivated their own sentience.

To think that the prerequisite for the formation of a Ghost Immortal was for an Emperor to die!

In that case, it could explain why there was such a Ghost Immortal in the Emperor's Tomb.

It was said that the formation of the Emperor's Tomb was the death of an Immortal Emperor.

Later on, other Emperors took the risk to enter the Emperor's Tomb and were inevitably cursed and buried there.

Demoness Ji continued, "However, Emperor experts are considered as peak existences of the upper world and it's extremely difficult for them to perish, let alone die violently. How can there be an Emperor here…"

At that point, Demoness Ji's voice stopped abruptly.

Suddenly, she recalled that there was indeed an Emperor buried here, Fiend Emperor Apocalypse!

Could this be the final resting place of Fiend Emperor Apocalypse?

Naturally, the Martial Dao Prime Body thought of Fiend Emperor Apocalypse right away as well. However, he was still puzzled.

He had a feeling that the dark s.p.a.ce here was out of place with the tomb of the Fiend Emperor above, as though they were two different worlds.

Above the chamber, within the radius of the Fiend Emperor's tomb, Grotto-heavens could not be released and their divine powers and secret skills were sealed.

However, the two of them were almost completely unaffected here.

At that moment, he did not have time to a.n.a.lyze carefully when the Ghost Immortal opposite him suddenly took a deep breath towards the two of them!

The Martial Dao Prime Body felt his mind go adrift and his Essence Spirit felt a powerful suction force that was about to pull it out of his body!

Thankfully, the power of the Mara Mask burst forth and blocked his Essence Spirit, allowing him to regain consciousness instantly.

However, Demoness Ji's cultivation realm was insufficient and she could not defend against the devouring power at all. A wisp of her Essence Spirit left her orifice and flew towards the Ghost Immortal opposite her!

Against such Ghost Immortals, none of the Dharmic Daos of the Martial Dao Prime Body could cause much damage to them.

However, he had a treasure that could kill the Ghost Immortal!

Using his robes, the Martial Dao Prime Body swept up a dim bronze lantern from his storage bag and smashed it towards the Ghost Immortal opposite him.

"Hehe."

The old man gave a strange laugh and reached out for the old bronze lantern with his withered palm. "Kid, you can't hurt me… argh!"

Before the old man could finish, he suddenly shrieked.

It was already too late for him to dodge and shake off the Soul Lantern!

Right in front of the Martial Dao Prime Body, the old man transformed into streaks of light that entered the bronze lantern and vanished completely.

The bottom of the bronze lantern had clearly gained another layer of oil.

Back then, the Ghost Immortal in the Emperor's Tomb merely touched the Soul Lantern with his walking stick and was almost sucked to death by it.

For this Ghost Immortal who dared to reach out with his hands, he did not even have the chance to escape!

Demoness Ji's Essence Spirit returned to her consciousness once more. She looked in the direction where the old man disappeared with lingering fear.

Demoness Ji heaved a sigh of relief. "To think that there would be a Ghost Immortal beneath this chamber. I wonder what happened to Fiend Emperor Apocalypse back then to cause him to die here with such deep resentment."

"Something's not right."

The Martial Dao Prime Body retracted his bronze lantern and murmured with a frown.

"Why?" Demoness Ji was puzzled.

The Martial Dao Prime Body said, "The tomb of Fiend Emperor Apocalypse above was exquisitely set up. It's clear that he was prepared. If he had died violently, why would there be this tomb here?"

As the Martial Dao Prime Body spoke, he glanced from the corner of his eye and suddenly realized that Demoness Ji was looking behind him with a horrified and pale expression!

In the darkness behind the Martial Dao Prime Body, a figure appeared slowly and approached silently like a ghost.

It was a menacing face that resembled a malevolent ghost. It opened its mouth in the darkness and wanted to devour the head of the Martial Dao Prime Body!

Another Ghost Immortal!

Throughout the entire process, there was no reaction from the spirit perception of the Martial Dao Prime Body.

"Hurry and escape!"

Demoness Ji shrieked and lunged towards the Ghost Immortal in the darkness behind the Martial Dao Prime Body without hesitation!

When the Martial Dao Prime Body noticed the strange expression on Demoness Ji's face, he realized that he was in immense danger!

His surroundings were pitch-black and he might not be safe no matter where he hid!

The Martial Dao Prime Body's reaction was extremely fast. His spirit consciousness moved and released a Martial Spirit Fire that entered the lantern of the Soul Lantern.

Phew!

The Soul Lantern was ignited instantly and burned with a tiny golden flame. The light extended and enveloped his surroundings!

"Ah!"

The Ghost Immortal behind him seemed to be severely injured by the golden light and golden flames surged from his body, unable to be extinguished.

"Soul…"

The Ghost Immortal only had time to say a single word before he was enveloped by the golden flames and devoured. His Essence Spirit was destroyed and his soul dissipated into nothingness!

Demoness Ji paused in her tracks and looked at everything in shock.

She had not expected that the seemingly una.s.suming bronze lantern in the hands of the Martial Dao Prime Body would be so powerful!

Ghost Immortals did not have true flesh and blood. In reality, they were formed from souls and resentment.

This treasure, the Soul Lantern, was the nemesis of these Ghost Immortals!

The Essence Spirits of the Martial Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji were in their consciousnesses and were protected by their bodies. When the Soul Lantern was ignited, it was filled with a golden glow and did not cause them any harm.

"What's going on? Why are there two Ghost Immortals here? Should we leave quickly?"

Demoness Ji's face was pale as a sheet. She felt uneasy and increasingly felt that this place was sinister.

The surrounding darkness seemed to be filled with an indescribably terrifying aura!

The Martial Dao Prime Body had a grim expression as he rolled up the Soul Lantern in his hands and suddenly threw it into the surrounding darkness.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The golden light dispersed the darkness and dozens of ghostly figures appeared instantly, letting out a series of tragic cries as they squeezed and retreated, wanting to avoid the light of the Soul Lantern!

When she saw that, Demoness Ji's expression changed starkly and she shuddered!

There were dozens of Ghost Immortals hiding in the darkness over there!
